U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA)

As a subcontractor to eStars Enterprise, ENC supported SBA’s mission to ensure small business owners have quick access to accurate information and helpful resources on SBA.gov.

Over the course of our five-year contract we conducted research to understand users’ needs, created and executed the SBA Digital Universe Content and Outreach Strategic Plan, developed a content governance structure, assessed and updated the information architecture (IA) site-wide, and continuously improved the visual identity of the site based on usability testing with updated home pages and interior page templates.

ENC developed and implemented content and outreach strategies and inventoried all existing content to assess accuracy and redundancy site-wide. Our work contributed to the following results:

Because of the improved design and user experience and a strategic and sustained content creation effort, the site’s traffic doubled to more than 2 million monthly visits

ENC’s social media campaigns increased traffic to targeted SBA.gov content by an average of 15 percent

Managed and grew the SBA.gov community to more than 35,000 members

Developed and implemented a strategy to increase Twitter followers to more than 30,000

Increased ForeSee E-Government Satisfaction Index scores by 10% to 77, one of the highest among dot-gov websites
